Schmidt Spiele is a major German manufacturer of jigsaw puzzles with sturdy boxes, thick pieces, and good image reproduction. Although their puzzles have a standard grid cut, their piece lines are a bit quirky and they have more variety of piece shapes than most grid cut puzzles. The final puzzle fit is seamless. Schmidt offers an extensive range of jigsaw puzzles suitable for all age groups, with piece counts varying between 10 and 3,000 and a wide selection of both conventional and fantasy images.
